Great location, great atmosphere, crazy good bar-food, good selection of local drafts on tap. Easy choice to go to for a weekend hang. They always play the vikings games on Sunday on the big screen

GREAT food and drinks here! And it is such a fun layout. This outdoor bar totally blew us away with all the loud TVs, fun outdoor games, open air seating and circle of bars! We sat in front of bartender Jamie W for quite a while and watched football on TV while enjoying drinks, appetizers, and good conversation with our local friend. This is truly one of the most terrific bars Ive visited anywhere. Staff was great too.

Ambiance was good... cool patio, Literally! Wide menu selection. Servers were not that friendly.

Our server Paige was phenomenal! We came in and she was the only server during a rush and she killed it! She was so efficient and friendly even though she was busy. It was the best time! Food is amazing and a broad liquor selection! Oh and the security guard working was very polite and had a great sense of humor! My friends and I are satisfied!

The Bacon and Blue Egg Burger is SO GOOD. Worth the trip in even if the bar crowd seems unsavory.

Great food and very helpful, efficient and friendly staff on a spacious patio. They really are doing great while running in strict accordance with new requirements. My new favorite local spot.

I really enjoyed our experience here. Food was good, staff was attentive and they were doing a great job following Covid protocols.

Covid precautions made this place lame. Couldnt interact with anybody besides those ar your table and the bartender yelled at me when I went up to the bar to try to order.

Its a cool place lots of bar games lots of TVs and the drinks are reasonable compared to Scottsdale

Awesome service. Great patio!

Always love this place! Great burgers, awesome drinks, and super fun and attentive servers! Highly recommend this place! Always a good time! Cant wait to be back! ️

Great beer selection and very nice and fast service.

Great patio. Great entertainment. Cold beer

Very interesting themed restaurant, very happy I tried it out! Food was good as was the service! A little pricey (not surprising given its location). A little more attention to detail, I sat down in the booth and my sport coat stuck to the table. Just one of those things that stick in the memory that makes a difference between good, great and excellent in the competitive food service industry.

My favorite bar in this part of Scottsdale! The bartenders and bouncers are the least pretentious of all the venues. One of the bouncers asked if we were leaving because we couldn’t get a drink when we were just waiting to pay our bill; he actually cared if we were having a good time. Reasonable drink prices too. The outdoor space is fantastic - lots of room to dance and hangout with a large group!

Pretty lively spot for a drink and a feed, even mid week. Took a while for us to be served but when we did get a server it was friendly service. Food was good! Weird vibe for a tourist but as a local I think it would be good.

Best burger I have ever had!

Dooshy bouncers/bartenders, this is just your run of the mill stereotypical old town bro bar, but with the fun gimmick of being mostly outside.

Fantastic. Great food and fun atmosphere.

Very poor service. Ok food. They were not following mask guidelines.

This is not the type of bar I would typically go to but it was fun. The band they had was very good. The staff was amazing and worked hard to try to accommodate a very large crowd.I really like the set up of the outdoor area, very open. The drinks are a little overpriced but thats expected in Scottsdale.

Great drinks and service. Food was pretty good too. Ambience is fun and lively.

A popular pre-pandemic place to party. Huge outdoor space in the place to be for a more relaxed Old Town Scottsdale Entertainment District crowd.

This place was a blast! Mostly college kids and my group is mostly middle aged, but we still had a great time. DJ and band were both awesome.

Not the most welcoming place to be in Old Town!

Perfect place to party in Scottsdale. Good food, drink, and atmosphere.

Awesome place. Great time on new years eve with Black Bottom Lighters playing. Lots of people but the place is huge. Drinks were ok prices for being in Scottsdale. Service was ok..

I visited here from MN and it was a SUPER cool place. We dont have anything like it here inMinnesota. Great atmosphere and drinks. The local beer is great as well. I am only giving 4 stars because it was extremely crowded. Like EXTREMELY crowded.

Love the live music!

Great Lil Western Vibe Grill We’ll Definitely Be Back!! Zipps Closed The Kitchen At Midnight So We Came Here And It Was Amazing!! Outstanding Customer Service!

Not my scene. Food was nasty. Drinks ok not great. Crazy costume night. No parking. Decent music.

If youre over the age of 25 years old you will not have fun here

The staff was nice, but the experience was terrible. The waitress took drink orders then disappeared. The pours she brought back were laughable. The beer pictured below was the full pint brought out, not sure it the bartender need to take a sip or what. I usually dont leave negative reviews, but felt compelled to do so with the experience this time.Delivered as a full pint pour.

They were great at accommodating our group. The doorman/bouncer even came in to check on our group a couple times. Food was great as well.

Above average sports bar. Live music at times. Nice beer and great happy hour menu specials!

Boondocks has some of the better priced drinks in oldtown and is certainly more casual than most places around, which I like. Unfortunately, the service for food has not been good in the many times Ive went there. Long waits between sitting, ordering. And being served.

Bouncer recommended the Cuban sandwich and it didnt disappoint! Multiple servers assisted us and it was great experience, well be back!

Best bar in SCOTTSDALE...by far. Great drinks, food and atmosphere. Great for watching games. Servers are the best as well. Weve had Ashley and Nosy.

This is one of the go to places when it comes down to Old Town. Its usually always a very busy place and they definitely know how to work with it. The employees are awesome and have always been on top of their work and always have a great experience whenever Im here. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time and also a time to remember!!! 4 stars!!!!

Food and service was great!!

Fun-ish vibe, but caters to a definite type of crowd. Saw lots of beards (the actual kind) and while Im not against a good beard, in many ways Im enthusiastic, but a little variety in clientelle would make it more relaxed and less like babysitting. Maybe I just came on a bad day but I felt like over aged mutton awaiting slaughter with the bearded lambs looking on to see how long it would take us to die before they could take our seats. It took an uncomfortably long time. We did come up with a fun game: guess what color and type of underwear the servers and bartenders are wearing. Is it guessing when you can see them? Not sure, but we all won!

Lively and eclectic outside bar, was close to the hotel I was staying and Uber was available as soon as we stepped out of the place. Good selection of music, bar staff was friendly, drink selection was decent. The dart area was small and some of the darts worn out. Was a great experience overall, would come back.

Waitress was awesome, food was good but it is a shame the large patio area doesnt have room for non smokers.

Nice place for a quick bite or if you want to watch a sports event with friends

I was told to go here to celebrate. Quite honestly everything was pretty mediocre about this place. Ive had better service at dive bars and Dos Gringos than here. Had an incident that the manager made excuses for that Ive never heard of. I wanted this place to be a spot where we frequent...however it will not be.

We had a great party at Boondooks recently at one of the side bars. It was a blast! The staff was friendly, patient, and helped to accommodate all our needs. The Bar Manager was fantastic. I highly recommended.

Always a fun place with lots of crazy kids. Great place to meet people of all kinds. Bartenders are friendly and fast and drink prices are moderate too expensive

Live band was great. Good vibe and food

The food was excellent and everyone elses food looked so good I want to go back!

Much more club than I expected, and also did not expect to see booth see booth seating on the dancefloor, but bad a great time regardless. Maybe a tad sexist in some of the staff outfitting...

Had a great time...the happy hour had great music and great crowd. Appetizers were decent although out of duck fat fries but we made do.

Not only is Boondocks a great place to chill with your friends over food and drink, they also support local music and causes in a big way. I just came from Playing To Heals 5th Annual benefit show for Naturopaths Without Borders, Cloud Covered Streets and Phoenix Childrens Hospital - tons of fun for a great cause. Hats off to Boondocks!

Great burger. Friendly staff. Fun atmosphere.

Was very busy standing room only at a squeeze. Everyone seemed to be enjoying them selves. Worth a visit

People from all ages go here. Has 2 pool tables and other little games, Staff are not rude and has 3 bars. It gets packed around the weekend. Highly recommend there is some space to talk to people unlike other cramped up places.

I really enjoyed the outside vibe but in an indoor space.Im from Wisconsin and I went there on vacation, truly I had a good time and the mac and cheese was so creamy

Fun little spot. Good food, great vibes

Boondocks is a fun sports bar in Scottsdale. The food is good, the service is great and the music is lively.

Very nice atmosphere, great live music and food.

Otis on security is a joke. Escorted a whole group of us out with zero reason given. Been coming for years, cannot believe the unprofessionalism that was introduced with Otis on the team there.

Very popular location in Scottsdale. The locals love it!

No social distancing an incubator for covid

Head to the back bar and say, Hi to Barry. Hes the best Adult Babysitter. The food is classic bar grub. Hearty, greasy and tasty. Go early- the place fills up fast

Real laid back! Live music, good food menu, cold beer and great service!

Fantastic place!! Hailey was great!! She recommended the buffalo wrap and it couldve have been any better!! We had a big party and Sadie handled it perfectly. Great food great service!!

Had a work dinner here. Fun place with a lot of games, great food, and a friendly and attentive staff. A hidden gem that I am glad we found.

Fun vibe during Christmas time and good music.

We called ahead to ensure they would have a table ready for a large group of 12, and they assured us they would have it ready when we arrived. When we showed up 30 minutes later (exactly when we told them we would be there), there were only 2 small tables available and they suggested we go to another restaurant down the street. Dont waste your time here.

Definitely not the most fun atmosphere

Cool place that includes games and an indoor/outdoor space. Just a tad pricey but what bar in old town isnt? Their food is good but youll wait for it for awhile.

0 stars. This bar tried to charge us $200 for a cover charge.

Fast service

Great place if you go there before shopping in Old Town. If you go there after shopping they will not let you bring you precious bags inside. They have you leave them up front without a hostess. Yikes; was worried the whole time there. Other than that seems like a fun place!

We had a large party wanting to watch the bears game and eat lunch and called ahead and asked for a table. The manager said “yes, we can definitely accommodate you, come on in”. We showed up exactly when we told him we’d be there and he told us “it got busy fast in the last 5 minutes, so there’s no big tables left.” Having experience in the restaurant business in my past, this is a mortal sin. You don’t tell customers to come in and there’s a table available only to give it away “if the place gets busy.” To me this 1) makes them look desperate for business and 2) makes me wonder what other corners they cut and what else they’ll do to ensure they make a buck if this is the way their MANAGER runs his business. Really poor customer service. Would assume plenty more they deliver is poor if this is how they treat customers from the jump.

Fun ambiance.Has an open air patio with an island theme.Lots of seating inside.Bartenders were quick.Drinks are kind of expensive.I would pass on this spot if you’re on a budget.Bathrooms are cramped and messy.Nothing special about this place though.

Awesome location! So much fun to come here and play pool and hang out!

Great Service, Friendly Atmosphere, outdoor area was fantastic, TVs for watching sports

Great place to hang out. Great live music. Good food but always so busy that its hard to get served most nights.

Always the place to be any day of the week. Staff is awesome, live music, and the food

My top favorite place to go to while in the Old Town area. Lots of games like pool, darts, skeet ball, Jenga, a photo booth and more. Great beer selection and the food is good also

Great place for drinks and to meet prople. Also good food menu. Bartender Michael pleasant and enjoyable to talk to. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to go when it is boring to stay home. Lots of happy people

A great time! Service was great, very little wait time. Atmosphere was perfect.

Great experience. Bathrooms unbelievably clean for what you would expect. Awesome bartenders and staff!

Great place and friendly staff

One of my favorite dog friendly patios! Food is decent for bar food, and they always have good beer specials. Only complaint is that they have the same band just about every weekend and they are not that good (in my opinion). Would rather just listen to normal music. Otherwise I really enjoy going here.

Great soubd system and its packed

Absolutely DO NOT recommend this place. Service is terrible and manager needs to be fired. Our party of 10 arrived and were told there was no room after we were previously told on the phone by that same manager that he could “definitely accommodate us.” I will never be returning to this joke of a business and do not recommend this place to anyone.

Where is the cocktail service? Brunette just threw menus at us. Very nice.

Great atmosphere and located a few blocks away from rowdiness...

My friend took me to a cornhole club (bean bag toss?) at boondocks and it was so fun! The place is outdoors but I was more than comfortable with the epic fire pit and the heat lamps. Its dog friendly too, so thats always a plus. The bartenders are nice, and happy hour prices are pretty decent. The weekends are crazy slammed there so if you dont like big crowds (like my friend and I) go check it out on a weekday. One of my favorite parts too was the music! Jimmy Hendrix, the Stones, Sublime, The Expendables... it was like a reggae/classic rock lovers dreams combined!

Great atmosphere for football Sundays! Food is decent, not a lot of vegetarian options though.. lots of fun and entertainment with games and TVs!

Love me some boondocks! Great atmosphere, food, and drinks!

Nice open space, live music, and happy hour specials. Quick service. Street parking outside sometimes gets busy.

Great neighborhood bar with occasional live music. Not clubby.#thebillradkeexperience

Boondocks is the best! Great service and atmosphere! There is an awesome and huge patio with tons of games and a fire pit for the winter. The bar is inside and outside and theres tons of space for big groups! They do awesome drink specials and deals as well which the staff are always willing to mention to you!

Nice bar. But.People smoke cigarettes! Okay sure maybe I sound like a baby. But I personally don’t like getting cancer forced upon me. Well I told the server and it was just an awkward. Nothing was done. Ugh don’t smoke.Great bar. Great severs keep it up but watch the cigs. Ruined over ten people’s nights. No joke.

Minus your friend on the wall. We had a great. Oh and seriously Corona bottles get em. Bought a Tshirt from the vending machine that was pretty sweet. All and all Id come back to forget it all again.

Upbeat vibe. Friendly people and staff. Plenty of heaters for the chilly nights so you can sit outside anyways. I door seating for those who like that. Pool table and other games. Overall REALLY fun place.

Local bars carry their own vibe around them. This is one of them. Excellent venue and pretty quick bar service. Its a huge area with the middle section/dancefloor being outdoors but still covered by an array of awnings. There are two bars that I could see, possibly three, but on opposite sides of the building.I only got a couple drinks and 4 vodka-redbulls set me back about $40. Those were the only drinks I had, not quite a bargain but fun place with good vibes.They had Mario kart going on a huge projector right in the middle of the dance floor. Fair game for whoever wants to play. The people were nice, the patrons I mean. I wasnt there even 10 minutes before someone bumped into me and spilled my drink. 30 minutes later he came up to me with a beer in his hand; might as well have been an olive branch, a very nice gesture.4/5 because of prices.

30s and 40s and just fun. no drama
